Agnostic

Refering to a person who believes you cannot prove nor disprove an ultimate reality, specificaly in deity's

Also sometimes refered to as "weak atheists" although that is incorrect.

The term 'agnosticism' was coined by Professor T.H. Huxley at a meeting of the Metaphysical Society in 1876. He defined an agnostic as someone who disclaimed both ("strong") atheism and theism, and who believed that the question of whether a higher power existed was unsolved and insoluble. Another way of putting it is that an agnostic is someone who believes that we do not know for sure whether God exists. Some agnostics believe that we can never know.

"Weak atheism" is simple scepticism; disbelief in the existence of God.

agnostic

One who is neither ignorant enough to believe that there is a god, nor self centered enough to believe that if there was a god, he would give a flying fuck about what they do on sundays, what they eat on fridays, and what kind of facial hair they have.

Im agnostic.

agnostic

Someone who doesn't feel that their is enough evidence to prove or disprove god.

Just because people have different religious beliefs than that of yourself (agnostic, atheist, muslim, christian) gives you no right to make them feel terrible.

agnostic

One who does not presume to know anything outside of experience, and that for what it is.

Being agnostic makes you open to the possibility that there may or may not be a God, however, it extends to all ideas considerable.

agnostic

Someone who would like proof of God before devoting their whole life to him/her, but acknowledges that there is a possibility God exists. They often believe that people who state either 'yes' or 'no' are too close-minded.

An agnostic does not have proof that God exists. They look for it, but more often than not never find it.

Agnosticism

The only rational position to take in relation to the existence of god. Most (but not all) agnostics are leaning towards atheist, meaning they highly doubt that there is a god, but aren't dogmatic enough to rule it out entirely. Some are theists who accept a certain level of doubt for their beliefs, for the sake of being logical.

Theism: "I know for certain that god exists"

Atheism: "I know for certain that there are no gods"

Agnosticism: "I only know that I don't know"
